It actually was worse for the consumers because MS actually took responsibility and gave the people extended warranties while Sony didn't give a fuck. Don't try to sugarcoat it. M$ didn't give a damn about it until word started to spread about a 2/3 failure rate, at which point they were forced to offer a multi year warranty to save face. And even then the repair lines were long. Coupled with the thought that a refurb system would be untrustworthy, people ran out to buy a supposedly improved platform and dumped the refurb at GS. Nin and Sony had way lower failure rates and stuck to the industry standard of charging for repairs. Not that I agree with the fees so if I ever run into trouble I clean it or fix at home. I'm proud to say I've only had a single console fail on me - an original PS1. Still have a launch PS2, 60gb PS3. Just gotta clean the dust out once in a while. Meanwhile I've never owned an XB. no one is sugarcoating anything. the ps3 ylodded just as much as the 360's has a rrod. the difference being that it happened later down the line. people did care that sony made you pay the price of a new slim ps3 to fix it. coupled with the fact that it was mostly the PS2 BC enabled PS3's, and people were mighty pissed because it was the only way to keep having a ps3 with bc. the funny thing was that it didn't happen that often in the EU, so sony used the EU failure rates in such a way to try and make everyone think that was the failure rate for all regions in total. it backfired on them, btw and no one cares that you've never owned an xbox before, i really don't understand why you keep trying to brag about that for some reason --- i'm flyin' from a fire from nico and the niners <cite>helIy posted [p:908877310] in PS4 is on ...
